Meropi (Greek: Μερόπη, before 1928: Ρουμπάτες, Roumpates)[2][3] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece.
Name
The toponym is derived from the surname Roumpatis; it is a plural formation to indicate members of a family and the place where they settled.[4] Roumpatis stems from the surname Roumpos and the Albanian suffix -at(i) where, in addition to forming ethnonyms, it is used to denote members of a family.[5]
The surname Roumpos stems from the Greek Epirote word roumos meaning 'withered man, small-boned', and alongside another similar term, the Greek Epirote rombos meaning 'knot, the fist', stems from the Slavic rombъ 'rag'.[6]
